The CGW 48535 is a 5-inch diameter fiber disc designed for spindle use, featuring a 7/8-inch arbor size and a 50-grit zirconia blend. This wheel-style surface finishing disc is intended for blending welds and finishing steel and stainless steel surfaces. The zirconia grain is engineered to provide a high concentration of abrasive particles and heat-treated aluminum oxide, delivering robust cutting action with improved heat resistance, which helps maintain material removal efficiency during extended use.
The distinctive fracture characteristics of zirconia grains promote a consistent grinding action throughout the disc’s life, aiming to reduce gouging and provide predictable wear. This makes it suitable for applications where a steady, controlled finish is important, especially on welded joints. The disc’s construction supports aggressive material removal while attempting to manage heat buildup, which can influence surface quality and tool life.
Practical use considerations include compatibility with standard 5-inch fiber discs mounted on a spindle or compatible backing system, and a package configuration listed as 100 discs per box. When selecting this disc, verify arbor size (7/8 inch) and grit (50) to match your grinder and finish requirements, and consider the material being ground to anticipate the balance between cutting speed and surface finish. Regular inspection for wear and heat buildup is advised to maintain consistent results over time.
